What 2011 Land Rover LR2 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Cracking Fuel Pump leaking fuel down the fuel tank causing a large puddle under the vehicle and strong gasoline smell inside and outside the vehicle. Similar leaking fuel recall to the federal safety agency campaign number: 21V635 Leaking fuel could cause a fire. Has been confirmed by a service center. Has not been inspected by manufacturer, reference the federal safety agency campaign number 21V635. No warning lamps, just started leaking within the last month.
the rear differential failure on the LR2 car is only 74,000 miles and the differential need to be replaced, I was reading online about it and several persons complain about. Thank you.
Recently began hearing a noise from the rear when driving. Thought it might be from the rear alignment causing the tire tread to make this sound. Driving faster the noise would get louder. Took to my mechanic for alignment and they said it was the rear differential going out. The bearings were making the loud noise. The vehicle only has 70,400 miles and is driven 10 miles a day and never off road. Looked for any recall notice I may have missed and then discovered this same situation from several others. I entered my VIN to check for any recalls and there are none! Surely this vehicle was built to better specs. For this to fail so early in the life (mileage) of the vehicle is unacceptable and needs to be repaired by the manufacturer at n/c. I'm certain there are many more than those of us who have filed here; however, there are enough on this site to take the issue serious and address the matter with the manufacturer. This needs to be recognized for what is - a manufacturing defect and needs to be fixed by land rover!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 land rover lr2. While driving 55 MPH, a loud humming noise was coming from the rear of the vehicle. The faster the vehicle accelerated, the louder the noise became. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear differential failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
The rear differential has been diagnosed with a pinion bearing failure by land rover. The vehicle only has 59,000 miles and has never seen anything off road
Rear differential had to be replaced in less than 70k
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 land rover lr2. The contact stated that the engine made strange noises when the vehicle was started and while driving approximately 30 MPH. In addition, the engine continued to run when the contact attempted to turn off the ignition. The contact called land rover peabody (247 newbury st, peabody, ma 01960, (978) 535-9200) and was informed that there was no recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Noticed a loud noise from rear of vehicle while driving. The greater the speed the louder the noise. Dealer inspection confirmed rear differential failing and needs replacement. Vehicle has 38,000 miles and still has the original factory tires. Rear differential failing before original tires are wore out! Potential total failure of rear differential during operation a real safety concern.
The rear differential needs replaced at only 71k miles - dealership has quoted a cost of $6,000.00. This is apparently a very common problem for the lr2 and land rover has issued a tsb but will not perform a recall and fix this known issue and factory defect.
